No One Always Comes

This empty king I stand before
He's alright, but I ignore
This mess I've made

This election has got me down
The one over who gets to wear the crown
And sit on the throne of my state of mind

Staying, holding out for something
Waiting here for nothing and nothing always comes
But I keep on waiting, holding out for someone
But expecting no one and no one always comes

And a third faction joins in the fray
One who wants to make the crown go away
And open it up to the outside

So I send in the royal guard
To send them away and break them apart
Can't have another revolution inside

Staying, holding out for something
Waiting here for nothing and nothing always comes
But I keep on waiting, holding out for someone
But expecting no one and no one always comes (no one always comes)

Steeling myself for a breakdown
I feel it coming on now and I can't even breathe
So can you breathe for me? Can you speak for me?
And can you love for me when I'm not around? (when I'm not around)

Staying, holding out for something
Waiting here for nothing and nothing always comes
But I keep on waiting, holding out for someone
But expecting no one and no one always comes (no one always comes)
